The statement is wrong! That says three things:
\n" ); document.write( "x=6, x=90-x, and 90-x=6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The statement found through the transitive property is x=6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The first part of the equation x=90-x is false because when substituting x=6,
\n" ); document.write( "the statement becomes 6=90-6, which is false, without any doubt. If you try to solve this part of the given equation for x, then you do this:
\n" ); document.write( "x=90-x
\n" ); document.write( "x+x=90-x+x
\n" ); document.write( "2x=90
\n" ); document.write( "x=45, which disagrees with x=6.
\n" ); document.write( "x must be only one of them or the other of them. NOT both for the same given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The last part of the given is 90-x=6, which if solved goes as
\n" ); document.write( "90-x+x=6+x
\n" ); document.write( "90=6+x
\n" ); document.write( "90-6=x
\n" ); document.write( "x=84, which disagrees with x=45 and with x=6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The given equation is not simplifiable, and it is wrong. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
